Just got for cheap a 2007 troy bilt 42" 7 sp pony model. Fires right up - owner was told it has a bad trans per lowes service center(but you never know they may have just wanted to sell a new mower). He said it was stuck in gear. I fired it up and reverse seems great- when in any forward speed it moves right away but starts to clunk heavy and it feels like a car keeps hitting you as you move forward. I bought it to part out on ebay but would really like to get it fixed and use it myself. I know it needs servicing &blades and a battery . but it looks like it does not have alot of hours-original tires look like new.
does it sound like a internal trans gear possible broken or missing a tooth? I have heard theses are pretty good transmissions . I would not be tearing apart the trans myself it would be sent out . if it is a trans- do most shops rebuilt or just replace and if so what are the general costs if taken to a shop?
Thanks
